Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner now living on Long Island, finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy. (imdb)

Not terrible, but its bad. Leo and Toby are just okay likely as a result of the subpar script. The music is odd, and the editing is terrible. Odd uses of CGI and poor cinematography do not help the visuals of the film.

As someone who hasn't read the book (although I did try once) this film actually does little to make me want to read it, as it suggests an ultra thin story, stretched to gossamer thin degree in order to fill the running time. On the basis the novel is a classic, I can only assume that the film didn't do it justice, despite being an enjoyable, musical and visual treat, with the usual excellent performances by Mulligan, Caprio and Fisher. By the end, I felt TTG was as shallow as its main players.
